SVXY: Volatility Got Crushed After The Election Results (Rating Downgrade)
ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures ETF benefits from falling volatility; post-election VIX normalization makes it less attractive, prompting a 'Sell' rating to take profit. SVXY is not suitable for buy and hold due to potential significant drawdowns from sudden volatility spikes. The fund should be bought when VIX spikes due to external events and sold after volatility subsides.
